Sure am. Bought 18's last week. Been trying to get these for a while, saw them on eBay and pulled the trigger. Have 6 months to decide on tires.



Were $650 including shipping, but that's less than I was expecting to pay for wheels anyway. I was also looking at Malibu LTZ wheels:



I like the polished LSJ. But I figured they're too similar to mine. I wanted to stick with a polished wheel which kept me from getting G6 GTP or LNF wheels so... I arrived at this. At least I have a wheel I haven't seen on any cars around here. I haven't been the kindest to my stock 17" so I'll try to take care of these at least...

Edit: apparently LSJ Pirelli's are P-Zero, which is a summer tire. I hope nobody has driven in snow on those.

 

ya... if u had gtp wheels... they would eventually get stolen... by me... so smart choice getting the other ones

 

Haha. I love that G6 wheel... but on eBay they're always crazy expensive or scratched with low tread G6 tires which I don't want - 225/50's

 

hey tjay i cant wait to see this animal run.... congrats man...

 

IMHO the problem isn't necisarrily the problem with lethbridge drivers;
it's your city's infatuation with light standards;
There is no excusing that many lights on mayor Magrath...

They widened it up, to add way too many lights... retarded.

IMHO there are four between the water tower and #3 that could be removed without issue:

• the one at 9th Ave (LINK)
• the one at 2nd Ave (LINK)
• the one at Henderson Drive (LINK)
• the one at 14th Ave (LINK)

 

wow!

that is a smoking deal!!

I looked around out of curiosity and seemed to recall seeing prices akin to $800/ea

congrats!

I wonder if those clear the Brembos, or if they're the exact same backspacing as the LSJ wheels (which require spacers on LNF cars)...

 

Those are some pretty sweet wheels!

 

Got my anti rattle kit in today. 2010 shocks and struts and new endlinks, installing tonight or tomorrow then off to the dealer Wednesday to get my wheel bearings replaced.

 

anti-rattle??

huh?...

 

haha Don't mind me my cars been rattling like crazy when going over bumps. Took the wheel off and saw a leaking strut and also my wheel bearings making noise. So ordered some TC shocks & struts and replacement swaybar endlinks as well as getting my wheel bearings changed Wednesday, I just call it all my 'anti-rattle' kit. I better not be hearing rattles and clunks when this is over....

 

oh...

my car occasionally makes a bit of noise from either the lower dr door area, or the sunroof - but most of my noise seems to OCCUR when my suspension/bushings are cold...

I don't recall reading that these cars came with polyurethane bushings... but mine sure sounds like it.

 

check out my for sale thread guys. if you need anything let me know. i'm still unemployed and could really use the extra cash

oo i agree lethbridge is terrible with lights... its even worse on the west side of town where they now have the brilliant idea of restricting the green light to only 1 traffic direction (westbound gets the green while eastbound sits at a red)

but still we have the most retarded drivers around. no one understands the concept of a free flow turning lane or simple traffic signs such as left hand turn only or go straight thru only...

 

so i've noticed 3 things tonight.

1. speeding tickets are no longer hand written

2. they no longer put your vehicle information on the speeding tickets

3. yes they will give you a ticket for speeding to merge

stupid cop got me doing 133 mergin onto deerfoot and then almost rear ends me tryin to pull me over

 

shitty deal,

those shops you recomended steve, have you done head porting through them?

 

no 2 buddies of mine worked for them. 1 still does, the other is a tech for southgate now. and the other will be helping me do my own porting (this is at cetus) and precision i used to work with one of the owners and they build race motors. both are quite good at what they do

 

Just downloaded Daft Punk's TRON soundtrack. Damn I wish I had a sub in my car!!!!

 

mine squeeks everywinter on bumps, when really cold.

 

not to change subjects.. but hows the job situation in calgary? Ive been laid off from my job for 3 months now and been constantly looking for a job in the hat and there is litteraly nothing. Prefferably trades jobs. If I dont find anything solid here by spring im considering finding a place to rent and packing my bags and moving to c-town. lemme know guys!

 

As I've understood it, there are jobs, it's all a matter of what you want, or are willing to do.

don't get me wrong, Calgary's probably no night & day difference from Medicine Hat, but my understanding has been that the smaller municipalities are often hit first because they have a smaller workforce to begin with...

Do you have any family in Calgary that you can crash with to look for something?

 

yeah, I didn't think too much about it, just figured it was a new car bushing thing... then my brother was riding with me pointed out that it sounded like polyurethane...
Since I hardly paid any attention to it, and didn't give it a second thought...
but since he pointed it out, I really do tend to agree.

 

I'm willing to do pretty much anything. I have experience in alot of feilds. I do have family I can crash with, all my family except for us lives up there. But once I get back on my feet id be looking for my own place or a roomate

 

it's been a while since I've looked, but I believe you can see the help wanted listings that the unemployment office hosts, online...

businesses will often have incentives to list with the unemployment office, but it should give you an idea of what's out there...

 

Jobs are rough, work is hard to come by.

 

i hear that... i graduated from university in april and im still looking for a job...
